Release v2.4.3 of Ktistec

Ktistec release v2.4.3 supports language translation.

Inspiration for this feature comes from Mastodon.

In order to enable translation, you need an API key for either DeepL or LibreTranslate. These are the only services Ktistec supports at this time.

Posts from properly configured accounts on supported servers, like Mastodon, include the content language. On posts like these, Ktistec will display a button to translate the content if the language differs from your language.

Unfortunately, not all Fediverse/ActivityPub servers explicitly support language (I mean, Ktistec didn't until just now). And not all users correctly set their posts' language, so ymmv... but it has been hugely useful for me.

I'm going to focus on site customization next (colors, etc.).

note that DeepL has a free tier and you can host your own instance of LibreTranslate...
